Institution Hill, Singapore

Institution Hill, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Institution Hill is a minor road in River Valley, Singapore. It is within Postal District 09. The road connects on one end to River Valley Road, and reaches a dead end on the other. It is a leafy neighbourhood with apartment blocks and landed houses.

According to Singapore Street Names, the road owes its name to Raffles Institution. Stamford Raffles had given 1,000 acres of land in that area to the institution. However, after Raffles retired, the government bought back the land from the school. Over the subsequent years, ownership passed from one individual to another, and by the mid-1980s, the area was re-developed with apartments that we see today.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
